We’ve had UGG in the UK for nearly 15 years now, welcoming two landmark locations into Westfield and Covent Garden’s tourist hubs - however, personal taste comes down to one simple question…
Which UGG style are you?
Kickstarting life in 1978 California, UGG was founded by a young Australian surfer that wanted to create product around his innate love for sheepskin - this was his inspiration, a key factor at the heart of everything UGG-orientated today.
Nearly a decade later, UGG had staked its claim on Southern Cali’s relaxed culture, gaining popularity amongst surfing circles and coastal shop-fronts of course; it only makes sense, right? After all, in another 20 years UGG had gained enough momentum to open flagship number one - hello NYC!
The topic of today's read is UGG's Classic II boot - arguably the most iconic UGG style currently sat at the top of TOWER's to-buy list. But, why? Oh, it's simple!
This is revamped version of that oh-so-beloved boot, the pair that was rife throughout your childhood and went on to play a pivotal role in early life. Rhyming, who would have thought!
Updated for everyday wear, the Classic II ticks a few boxes that were left untouched by its former; each pair is pretreated to protect against moisture and staining for starters, that 8 inch shaft height won't be seeing damage anytime soon.
For warmth, suede is combined with a twinface sheepskin upper, followed by a soft liner and insole splashing sheepskin once more.
Underfoot, we have signature doses of Treadlite - help together with nylon binding.
The UGG Classic II, a true icon living!
